WotC could not, for instance, declare magic missile as IP now and forbid d20 companies from using it as OGC from the older SRD.Even if they revised the srd posted on their site, it is valid under the OGL to use the original released OGC.Note that the draft srd was not released so that can not be used, but anything that actually was released as OGC is fair game under the license, regardless of whether the releaser changes their mind later or accidentally released something.Should you use it? That is a different question.Mark and Flyspeck seem to be saying don't do it, it will tick off WotC which is not right after they gave us the SRD, and it is not in the interest of the d20 publishing community to antagonize WotC, particularly since WotC is generally helpful and friendly with the d20 community so far. I agree completely with maintaining friendly relations with WotC and avoiding ticking them off unnecessarily.However, I don't think repeating the full released srd in a document, including the slaad reference, will be a big deal that gets WotC worked up either way. Since you are just putting their srd into one document with links, I wouldn't imagine they would object. That said, it wouldn't hurt to ask them and abide by their preferences on such a small matter.PS, please do not take my views on this as legal advice. For that hire an IP lawyer.</blockquote>
